Wrong Fuel in Car Pontymister - Pontymister Misfuelling

What a quality night's sleep! 7:00 on a bright Saturday and I was on my way to assist an old lady after she put petrol in her diesel expensive Range Rover in Pontymister. I had been told she drove away from the filling station forecourt and was pulled up along a country lane on route to see her godchildren. I popped the location straight into the TomTom and was on-scene within an hour. I got to the location and drained the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. While I was doing it she explained, "I have been becoming somewhat absent-minded in my senior years and did not remember about the vehicle needing diesel as I had only acquired it a short while ago right after my previous car, which I owned for about 30 years, inevitably stopped working". I finished the job and she gave me a toffee and said thank you. Such a pleasant Caerphilly woman!

How to find out if I put the wrong fuel in my car?

If you’ve just filled up at a petrol station and the cars starts to act a bit strange you might start to wonder if you accidentally put the wrong fuel in it.

Well, there are a few things to can check that will be able to tell you:

1. How is the car responding? There are some very common misfuel symptoms which can be a good indicator of wrong fuel:
• Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel
• A lot of smoke (more than usual)
• Engine coughing or starting to splutter
• Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
2. Look at your fuel receipt. It will state clearly if you filled up with diesel or unleaded. If you don’t have the receipt, you can often return to the petrol station where you filled up and give them the date and time (and pump) where you refuelled and they will often be able to give you a VA receipt.
3. Smell it. Diesel and petrol have very distinctly different smells. Anyone familiar with the motor industry should be able to help you with this. Or you could even get another car to park alongside and smell the fuel caps of both, comparing them to determine what the fuel type is.
4. Call us to come out and assess the car. In the majority of cases we will be able to tell if the car has been misfuelled before beginning work on it. If we discover that the vehicle does not need a fuel drain, you will only be charged a call-out fee.
